And now for the good news
I had written last week about the commonplace, not-so-professional service I receive at one of the more famous hanrayin khanoutner of the city. Well, it would be unfair of me to not write about the pleasant surprise that occurred there a couple of days ago.
As I was getting the usual dndesagan abrank, the lady at the counter mentioned to me that she clearly remembers accidentally overcharging me last time (which was probably a while before). I really had no idea to what she was referring, and, even though she insisted that I had known but kept quiet, I hadn't a clue, and said so. Anyway, the point is, she aplogised and gave me my 50 drams back. Well, she cut 50 from whatever it was that I was buying, but it amounts to the same thing. And, yes, 50 drams is indeed next to nothing, not even a full marshrutka ride, for Heaven's sake, but it's The Principle Of The Thing that matters.
Sure, as I am known to profess from time to time, this place is indeed not working well as a country, but I expect we are getting there. Gamats gamats.
Meanwhile, how's the weather for you lot ? Snow good, eh ? :-P
